Jaipur: In a shocking incident, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has received a death threat from a prisoner lodged in Dausa’s Salawas Jail. The accused, identified as 29-year-old Rinku, who is serving a life sentence in a rape case, allegedly called the Jaipur police control room on Friday night, issuing the threat to assassinate the Chief Minister. The police acted swiftly, tracing the call back to the jail and launching an extensive search operation between 3 AM and 7 AM. During the raid, they recovered the mobile phone used to make the call. Authorities have launched a deeper investigation to determine how the inmate managed to access a phone and whether there were any accomplices inside or outside the prison.
The incident has raised serious concerns about security breaches inside Rajasthan’s prisons. The revelation that a convicted criminal could make such a call from behind bars has prompted an immediate review of security measures in state correctional facilities. Jail authorities are now under pressure to explain how contraband like mobile phones continues to enter high-security prisons. Meanwhile, Rajasthan’s law enforcement agencies have assured the public that the matter is being taken seriously and that strict action will be taken against those responsible.
Political analysts suggest that this threat could have broader implications, potentially influencing security protocols for high-profile leaders across India. CM Bhajanlal Sharma has not yet issued an official statement, but sources close to him indicate that additional security measures are being implemented around him. The incident has also reignited discussions on prison reforms and the need for stricter surveillance within jail premises. As investigations continue, the focus remains on ensuring that no further security lapses endanger public figures or the state’s law and order.
